“That’s just the nature of life. I mean, we live in a time when there are bloggers and tweeters and 24-hour news and everyone has a voice in this town square, and it’s a big one. And it’s good – overall, it’s good,” she said on the “Today” show on Friday while promoting the third anniversary of her Let’s Move anti-childhood obesity initiative. “That means at any point at a given time, somebody’s not going to like what you do. That’s just the nature of things … It’s part of our culture.”

In an interview with the Associated Press, she continued to speak candidly about the role of Twitter in the blogosphere.

“Shoot, my bangs set off a national conversation,” she said. “My shoes can set off a national conversation. That’s just sort of where we are. We’ve got a lot of talking going on … It’s like everybody’s kitchen-table conversation is now accessible to everybody else so there’s a national conversation about anything.”

As for her other big conversation-starter of the past few weeks – that “mom dance” sketch on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” – it sounds like she received the only seal of approval she needed: that of her 14-year-old daughter Malia.
